Inventors are fundamentally motivated by a desire to see their creations become appreciated and recognised
问题描述：
Inventors are fundamentally motivated by a desire to see their creations become appreciated and recognised
在这里为什么翻译成“发明家的根本动机是希望自己的发明得到赏识和认可”?明明是发明家是根本动机通过强烈的渴望看到自己的发明得到赏识和认可,在这里by引导什么从句?还是状语从句吗?
by只能引导状语从句吗？
答
拆分为两部分理解
Inventors are fundamentally motivated by a desire be motivated 受到...促使 （ 你这一部分理解有误）
a desire to see their creations become appreciated and recognised to 后面都是在解释是什么样的 desire 促使发明家有了这个根本动机
所以翻译成“发明家的根本动机是希望自己的发明得到赏识和认可”是完全正确的
